Karma.
Sixty sleeping pills and whiskey I wash down your throat
and leave you gagging, while I go out
to buy shoes, to dye my hair, to drink with friends.
You are left bedridden, handcuffed, you pretty, foolish shrew.
I guess you never knew, never saw my limits, walked
right past them with your hat and your coat.
Bastard.
Oh, you heard - or read.
Next time
we play this game
I'll be in the drivers seat
and you'll be in the boot
screaming for your life,
pretty, foolish shrew.
I guess you never knew.
Karma is a bitch
and I just changed my name.

"Karma is a bitch

So empowering. This might fit in the 'Upbeat Poems' category, too, as I just gained a substantial amount of strength from reading this.
I love the subtle rhyme and repeating 'pretty, foolish shrew'.

I liked the poem. Especially the detail. And the way it didn't let form control it. Reminded me;
"Men should be either treated generously or destroyed, because they take revenge for slight injuries - for heavy ones they cannot."
